Like Descartes and Pascal, Hans Hahn (1879-1934) was both an
eminent mathematician and a highly influential philosopher. He
founded the Vienna Circle and was the teacher of both Kurt Goedel
and Karl Popper. His seminal contributions to functional analysis
and general topology had a huge impact on the development of modern
analysis. Hahn's passionate interest in the foundations of
mathematics, vividly described in Sir Karl Popper's foreword (which
became his last essay), had a decisive influence upon Goedel. Like
Freud, Musil and Schoenberg, Hahn became a pivotal figure in the
feverish intellectual climate of Vienna between the two wars.
Volume 1: The first volume of Hahn's Collected Works contains his
path-breaking contributions to functional analysis, the theory of
curves, and ordered groups. These papers are commented on by Harro
Heuser, Hans Sagan, and Laszlo Fuchs. Volume 2: The second volume
deals with functional analysis, real analysis and hydrodynamics.
The commentaries are written by Wilhelm Frank, Davis Preiss, and
Alfred Kluwick. Volume 3: In the third volume, Hahn's writings on
harmonic analysis, measure and integration, complex analysis and
philosophy are collected and commented on by Jean-Pierre Kahane,
Heinz Bauer, Ludger Kaup, and Christian Thiel. This volume also
contains excerpts of Hahn's letters and accounts by his students
and colleagues.
